On Tuesday evening, parts of New York City saw intense flooding along highways and roadways after strong thunderstorms moved through the area. Drivers reported seeing standing water on roadways in the Bronx.
“Looks like it wants to pull just to the west of us here in the Tri-State region, but even so, it’s still going to drop a lot of rain,” FOX 5 NY’s Mike Woods said. “The time frame for that is late Thursday through Friday and into early Saturday.”

“Heavy tropical rain related to Debby will be in the area in a couple of days,” Woods said in a post on X, formally Twitter.
The extreme amounts of tropical moisture still being produced by the storm, combined with a dip in the jet stream off to the west, are expected to produce heavy precipitation throughout the interior Northeast.
